does this ball come inflated to appropriate fifa standards and how well does it play against the top replica

Our experience in soccer is, the better the ball, the less time it holds its inflation. This ball must be checked, and almost surely re-inflated, at least every week. Balls at this level are significantly more lively than their less expensive replicas. This will force you to be more careful about control, which, in turn, will make you a better player, even with lesser balls.

My husband loves this ball. Not sure about the others but this replaced his nice leather ball that was lost last year and he's been very happy with it.

no comparison to the top replica! It comes inflated but not fully! you must calibrate prior to playing! try the new one for Brazil Wordcup 2014 (Brazuca)!

As I understand it, not the same ball NBA plays, though your cost is due to it being a true leather ball with the specs of NBA. I've never played with a true NBA ball, so can't tell you the difference, but there are many reviews by those who have a good idea. Search the ones that gave the ball the lowest ratings, and you will find the answers to that question.

It is not. Good ball, but if your looking for NFL authentic game ball type, look elsewhere.

As I recall - and it's been awhile since I purchased it - the ball was partially/mostly inflated. I'm virtually certain it wasn't flat. You'll need to pump in some air from time to time to keep it up to snuff.

the ball will come inflated but you will need a pin to keep it full as it is not included. This is a nice football especially at the price and has nice grip qualities. On the other hand if you through it off a cliff or under a bus you won't have a heart attack. I'm 63 and I still love goig out and having a catch with my son or some of my co-workers during lunch. Have a good time.

If I remember correctly, the ball was about 10" in diameter...maybe a bit more. It's a good size, like a soccer ball.

I like the one I have. I have not compared the two so can't answer that question. You'll just have to do some research on what you want in a player. Good Luck.

I ordered this ball about 2 years ago for my daughter.. She loves green and had just gotten a new goal. it is one ball. We had to inflate it upon receipt. itis a good ball for the money.

I don't know what FIFA approved means but as training balls these are very good. Have had them for 6 sessions in the wet and they're holding up good. They seem not as slippery and a bit easier to control. Will buy them again

Yes it is a real replica and can be played with...I would just not pound it on anything.

It's a nice "softer" kicking ball. My kids use it for indoor soccer, gagaga, and indoor volley ball. They are 9 and 12.

yes, the ball is the same as in the picture. I believe I only got one in the box

Hi, this pump should inflate your soccer ball but you need a Sports Ball Air Inflator Needle. Just attach ball inflate needle to Schrader (Not presta )side of pump attachment as you would a tire with a Schrader valve. I tried a sports ball inflate pin with the Topeak Peakini II Mini Pump and there is no problem attaching and locking it in place. I did not have a soccer, football or basketball to pump up though! God Bless!

We really like ours and haven't had any issues with it at all. We have children that play travel soccer and use this every day and it has held up great!!

it will hold up, for the price it is a good ball. It is harder than most of the soccer balls we have purchased though

No, it does NOT. The faster the ball goes, the more spin it has. This was not a deal breaker for me. For practice purpose this did not make too much difference, as top-spin balls (without too much spin) behaves similarly to a non-spin ball. When you play real games you don't usually deal with non-spin balls anyway.
